$84K Dream Home Villa Tour + A Life-Changing Gift to a Family in Need

In less time than it takes to make a baby, we’ve managed to build and move into our finished off-grid villa here in the forest of Bohol, Philippines — and the total cost? Just $84,000 USD (yep, for everything you’re about to see).

Join us for a full room-by-room tour of our Bali-meets-Japan-meets-native-Filipino inspired dream home, complete with:

🏡 2 bedrooms + 2 stunning semi-outdoor bathrooms
🏡 A big guest house with another bathroom
☀️ A solar setup that means we never pay a power bill
🏊 A massive 80m² terrace and plunge pool
🌱 Veggie gardens, rainwater collection & full guest house
…all lovingly built without breaking the bank (or our sanity – well, mostly).

But that’s not all.
We also share one of the most meaningful moments we've had since moving here – surprising a beautiful local family with a life-changing gift that had me crying like a baby.

Stick around to the end. This one’s special.
